The elevator doors screech to a stop and open. I inhale the scent of the outdoors, it seems like not long ago, I was coming to this place thinking I was about to die. Nonetheless, now here I am living. This is probably enough for some people, to make the "shift" happen in their lives. On the other hand, for some reason I 'm different, I 'm worse, I 'm not like everyone else. Is there something more wrong with me, I wonder as I slowly stepped outside taking in New York City all around me. Many people would love to live the life I live, so why, why am I the one hating it?

    I realized I would probably never see most of them again, especially the British counselors, many of whom had never been to America before that summer. Of course I could go back next summer if I wanted to, but it wouldn’t be the same. Everyone would be replaced with a whole new group of people that I would come to know and love then never see again. As these realizations hit me, I started to feel numb. After saying goodbye to everyone, fetching my luggage, and scrubbing off the mold that had started to grow on my shower basket, I slumped over to my mom’s good old gray Kia Sportage.

  • Analysis Of The Story 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been'

    692 Words  | 3 Pages

A prominent issue within a traditional society is man’s expectation for a woman’s only goal being to satisfy and please a man. This is demonstrated in full force when Arnold Friend condescendingly says; “Be nice to me, be sweet like you can because what else is there for a girl like you but to be sweet and pretty and give in?” (Oates 9). The way Arnold condescends and truly believes in what he says is problematic.
